~ Miss Me `But Let Me Qo ~
When I come to the end o f the road And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little but not too long And not withyour head bowed low Remember the love that we once shared
MISS ME BUT LET ME GO. For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone It's all a part o f the Master's plan
A step on the road to home. Whenyou are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know And buryyo u r sorrows in doing good deeds
MISS ME BUT LET ME GO.

` Only you"
We cannot walk inyour path For the roadyou traveled was wide. You touched the hearts o f thoseyou met
Foryou met them with a smile.
And asyou journeyed along the way You left a warmth so dear.
That memories o fyou remained And the footsteps very clear.
There is no way to say Good-bye Foryou will be loved always.
The special wayyou've touched our lives Withyour gentleness and caring ways.
That certain smile, that look inyour eyes And the softness whenyou'd say, "Don't woriy, everything is fine."
More thanyou knew or more than we could say.
But God has seenyour promise And has calledyou to come home.
You've gone away Toyour Mother's embrace
With God at the throne.
. . . From Your Grandchildren
